Had the same experience with The Matrix, didn't know what it was about, was pretty much blown away. I like the comment Tarantino makes about Speed, being what it was back then, going to a movie theater and watching it. I kind of have the same thing for movies like Days of Thunder and Jurassic Park. Thrilling to watch in a movie theater, but maybe not later on on a tv screen when you get older. Battle Royale is bonkers, it's unorthodox and god damn strange, watching it wanted me to see more asian movies. Think I will watch some of the movies he mentions.

@@sparqqling Do you think a child would be happier reaching subtitles or having the pleasure of watching something on their own language? I have seen some dubbing that was horrible to the point of ruining the movie, but most of it was really good and fun to watch. Talking for myself, I always watch on the original language, but if well made, dubbing can be good as well. Maybe your country just don't have a good dubbing industry, idk.

Quentin seems to appreciate any film regardless of genre and that's what makes him great. Art is in many forms and the fact he put Friday, Police Story and Team America in with The Matrix and Unbreakable goes to show how diverse his pallet is. I respect his opinions on movies more than probably any director.

Battle Royale is one of my all time favourites, what an incredible journey that movie is, it also inspired the hunger games and the “Battle Royale” game genre like PUBG etc.

Nothing affirms your own view of movies more than seeing one of your favorite directors calling out your favorite film - the Matrix - as one of the greatest and simultaneously calling out the sequels for ruining the whole franchise.

Watched Chungking Express because of his recommendation. Man's got taste

I was very into korean films around 10 years ago and everyone of the mentioned I actually have in dvd. After the oscar won of Parasite people started to find them too and Memories of Murder and The Host is from the same director. JSA is Chan-Wook Park's whose done Oldboy (and multiple other great works like The Handmaiden and No Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance). If I would give another good examples then Chaser and I Saw The Devil are sooo good watches, just straight up adrenaline filled scenes and beautifully shot. Bittersweet Love is also one of my favorites, in that and I Saw The Devil is the same guy as the lead (and the same director). He is the actor who is found out to be the game-master in the Squid Game which it's kinda a revelation if into korean films. It fits really good because he actually can fight and does stunts so anyone who regocnized him would be like ok makes sense why he would have won the game 😅

More like fun horror movie would be Train to Busan for example. Also yeah New World is worth of mentioning I have watched it couple times. The Yellow Sea, A Hard Day, Tunnel is good. Madeo also is by the Parasite director Bong Joon Ho (most propably would know him from Snowpiercer or Okja), his first movie Barking Dogs Never Bite is tonally very weard black comedy and worth of seeing if into him. Memories of Murder feels more like him solidifying his style but the Barking Dogs is still a good watch (I must say there is violence towards dogs since westeners are quite sensitive towards that so, just to say 😅).
